It resulted in hardship for many people. It’s one of the artworks I’m exhibiting at Swansea’s Cinema & Co in a joint showContinue reading “Ban The Bedroom Tax!”

Tent City II
Here’s another monotype I did recently with chine collé from an original sketchbook drawing at London’s “Tent City” a few years ago, the Occupy London protest outside Saint Paul’s Cathedral.

I’m working it up in my home-made walnut inkContinue reading “Playing With Words”
